I think 11 on the tide change is where it’s at. There will be some donkeys caught out there this year. I can feel it.

Awesome day and that picture is a framer!

I’m calling it meow.
Will Grand catches a 9 lber on highway 11 this fall.
You heard it here first.

How do you like your new boat?

One of the most important things imho is the wind. Not just day of, but whats the wind been doing for the past couple days? With 4 days of strong east wind that bait is gonna be pushed into that Bayou B corner of Lake B. Thats where I’d start. Hit the Westbank shoreline of where Chefs meets Lake B, run out to the rocks in the NW corner of Lake B, THEN if I didn’t have a limit I’d roll out to the eastside of Alligator Point, hit those drains, pop over to the 3 rigs between Alligator pt and Shell pt. and then finish your plan.

@Devin a wade kick? A WADE KICK?!?
I have fully converted. I can’t even finish unless I’m balls deep in shark infested flats.
I knew the exact moment it happened:
“But mentally, I was back on that beach fighting giants and dreaming of the moment I could get back.
I’ve caught thousands of trout. Many big trout.
I want to wade fish this summer.”
That feeling has only grown since 4/30/2026.
I concur with what @cliffhall and Devin said. Cheap amazon belt, some snips, long forceps, wade fishing sling bag from buc-ees, one belt mounted rod holder, offbrand bogas or cheap net from Academy. The bare minimum is the sling (which has my phone/baits/jigheads/leader) and belt. There’s some other gadgets that are helpful like magnet for net/bogas and they come in a kit.
I encourage you to toss the big girls back for 3 reasons.
1. Genetics, and they need to keep breeding.
2. If you think you caught a big fish, you should see the one that’s right next to it.
3. It’s a hazard with the sharks out there. I’ve had more encounters this summer than my whole life.

I do and yes, it has been a productive trout haven but not this year from the reports I have. Follow the pogey boats to find the fish you seek. They have to report their AIS.

The only 2 places you can consistently find the other species you want to target are GI and Venice. Topwater drum can be found in Mississippi and Breton Sound. For Cobia most of the Venice near shore rigs hold them but my experience the most fun way to catch them is EXACTLY how you catch a trout. 3/8s jighead with a green hornet. Cast as close to the pilings as you can and let it sink about 5-10 ft before reeling in. Also you can send a full head of a ladyfish or mackerel down on a carolina rig and they can’t resist. As for Mangroves, chicken rig with squid or chunks of dead shrimp, and you need plenty of tackle when they drag you into the rig. We saw plenty when we dropped a gopro down on a Venice rig. Good luck.

I’ve seen tuna from shore. I’d be down AF to make that trip.

Right time right place, same ugly face.

Heaven on earth.
